March madness, VCU made final four!

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). The place I studied for 3 years and half and got honor to graduate last December. We have been famous as a medical and art school, but since today people will remember my school as the best basketball school. VCU got points 71 :61 over Kansas University which is the number one basketball team so far. People said it was surprising that VCU made in sweet 16, but we passed Elite 8, now we are in final 4! It's Crazy in Richmond with increasing heat of Ram riots. What a great day! I am proud of my school, VCU! It's not done yet, Let's go Rams to Championship!


Capture pictures from NASS,Yahoo,ESPN and my documental drawings today :)


people are waiting a line to get in the VCU Siegal Center to watch elite eight game of VCU vs. KU
1st Half 41:27 / 2nd Half 71:61. We won!! :)

I work at a communication office of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) as a graphic design intern. Every fall semester, VCU issue a schedule book called insider, which is including all of the school events and information of that year. Since our office graphic designer, Micaela and senior designer, Joy like my illustration, they decided to change a insider cover with my illustration. (It has been a photo cover ever since.. I don't know;) I was so happy to be asked about this project,(I prefer illustrating a picture to design a picture..yea..I am an illustrator.) and those are the complete pictures.

The insider with these pictures will be issued 2011 fall and will be used for an year.
I can't wait!

§- BEHIND SCENE - §

To sew a leather was one of the hardest parts.

My roommate Kristen helped me out.

Thank you Kristen :)

The hidden side of the portfolio making project.

Plus, It was a final week.. so as you see, it was chaotic.

It was more complicate to make a portfolio box than I thought

( because I wanted to make unique one which is able to represent my work best)

you can see the yellow paper which is a planar figure of the portfolio box.

{ Discover treasures }

{drawing}

{final}

I did illustration for an article about how developed countries are jealousy of poor countries when they discovery treasures (= wealth) and want to take it from them.

In this picture, an afghanistan found treasures, he is watching out american soldiers passing by behind him.

{ FOUND OBJECT BOOK }

{ found object book }

It was a project to make a book out of any material I can find around me.

The rule was I can't buy anything to make this book.

I had a conversation about this with my friend Uni, and she gave me great idea.

She had a solid perfume which has a character name 'Music' on it.

The idea was this.

The character 'Music', visits a black&white village, she exudes a perfume smell

( which will be expressed as music notes on manuscript paper)

The more you riffle the pages of the book,

( which means 'Music' walks into the village more and more)

the village become colorful by 'Music's fragrance.
